Summary Gap Analysis - SCOPE 3.0 and FPW7
Feature | SCOPE | Benefits of SCOPE |
|---|---|---|
Interface designed after Windows XP® by Microsoft Partner to work like MS Explorer® |  | Modern familiar interface means minimal training required to learn all SCOPE features. <<Detail>> |
| Selectable multilingual interface (includes all screens, messages and reports) <<Detail>> | | SCOPE is available in 10 Languages: English - Japanese - German - Chinese - Korean - Portuguese - Dutch - Spanish - Italian - French <<Detail>> |
| Synchronisation capability - allows users to count off-site and later merge the changes they have made into the baseline count without overwriting changes made in the meantime, by other counters. <<Detail>> | | SCOPE allows counts to be done remotely without the worry of overwriting changes made by others when the count results are merged back into the same or an updated baseline. <<Detail>> |
| Single SCOPEdatabase file to simplify data storage and transmission of counts <<Detail>> | | Makes transferring data from different storage media simple and easy <<Detail>> |
| Enables Project Managers to quantitatively track and interactively display the size of project rework displaying the history of changes online. Tracks when a process or data group is changed multiple times for the same project or removed from the project scope. <<Detail>> | | Enables suppliers to easily charge back for project scope-creep and changes to User requirements <<Detail>> |
| Imports historical count data from other industry FP counting software e.g. FPW <<Detail>> | | Easy to upgrade from other tools without losing historical count data <<Detail>> |
| Allows Projects to be mapped to multiple applications so that counts are automatically aggregated at Project level as well as at Application Release level to display online interactively <<Detail 1>> <<Detail 2>> | | Maps the structure of your counts to the real-world structure of your applications development and maintenance environment for easy reporting and communication <<Detail 1>> <<Detail 2>> |
| Allows multiple separate counts to be applied concurrently to the same baseline that can add, change and delete processes and data groups without overwriting other counts changes. <<Detail>> | | Allows multiple counts to be done for multiple change requests that impact the same Release of an application – avoids separate counts corrupting the master baseline with counts overwriting each other <<Detail>> |
| Inbuilt expert assistance in IFPUG counting rules enhances ability to record and report accurate and detailed count information <<Detail>> | | Reduces risk of giving incorrect sizing for decision making by ensuring more accurate and consistent counting. Saves time and costs of audits and recounts by providing an online mentor on counting queries. <<Detail>> |
| All data entry and linking can be done on a single split screen without trekking through layers of stacked windows <<Detail>> | | Saves significant time (therefore dollar costs) for a counter to record count results. Also assists in reviewing counts as all information is available on a single split screen and names are fully readable <<Detail>> |
| Field lengths are virtually unrestricted to allow actual specification names to be used in documenting the count and display without truncation <<Detail>> | | |
| Data groups can be hierarchically structured to individually document names of RETs and DETs which can be linked to Elementary Processes <<Detail>> | | |
| Allows easy hierarchical cataloguing of Notes and Attributes with long field length or no field length restriction for complete count documentation <<Detail>> | | Saves significant time (therefore dollar costs) for an auditor to review a count and for another counter to maintain a count since count decisions are easy to record, view and maintain <<Detail>> |
| Full Audit capability of all changes to count <<Detail>> | | Tracks Author and date when all count details were modified including comments. Fully searchable so you know what changed and when and who made the change. <<Detail>> |
